Ezayi 37
1 Lè wa Ézéchias te tande sa, li te chire rad li, te kouvri kò l ak sak twal, e li te antre lakay SENYÈ a.
And when the king, Hezekiah, heard it, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Li te voye Éliakim ki te chèf nan kay la avèk Schebna, grefye a ak ansyen a prèt yo, kouvri ak sak twal, kote Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 Yo te di l: “Men konsa pale Ézéchias: ‘Jou sa a se yon jou gwo malè, repwòch ak rejè; paske pitit yo rive nan lè pou yo fèt e nanpwen fòs pou akouche yo.
And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of contempt; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Petèt, SENYÈ Bondye ou a va tande pawòl a Rabschaké, ke mèt li a, wa Assyrie a, te voye pou repwoche Bondye vivan an, e li va repwoche pawòl ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te tande yo. Pou sa, leve lapriyè yo pou retay ki la toujou yo.’”
It may be that Jehovah, thy God, will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, hath sent to reproach the living God, and to revile him with the words which Jehovah, thy God, hath heard. Do thou, therefore, lift up thy prayer for the remnant of the people, that is yet left.
5 Se konsa sèvitè a Wa Ézéchias yo te rive kote Ésaïe.
And the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ésaïe te di yo: “Konsa nou va pale mèt nou an, ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale: “Pa pè akoz pawòl ke ou te tande yo, avèk sila sèvitè a wa Assyrie yo te blasfeme non Mwen.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid on account of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Gade byen, Mwen va mete yon lespri nan li pou l tande yon rimè pou li retounen nan pwòp peyi li. Epi Mwen va fè l tonbe pa nepe nan pwòp peyi li.”’”
Behold, I will put a spirit within him, so that he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Pou sa a, Rabschaké te retounen e te twouve wa Assyrie a t ap goumen kont Libna, paske li te tande ke wa a te kite Lakis.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Lè li menm, wa Assyrie a tande yo pale de Tirhaka, wa Cush la: “Li te parèt deyò pou goumen kont nou,” epi lè l tande sa, li te voye mesaje yo kote Ézéchias e te di:
Then he heard concerning Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that it was said, “He is come forth to war against thee.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah and said,
10 “Konsa ou va di a Ézéchias, wa a Juda a: ‘Pa kite Bondye ou a nan sila ou mete konfyans ou an pase ou anba rizib pou di ou: “Jérusalem p ap bay nan men wa Assyrie a.”
Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Gade byen, ou te tande sa ke wa Assyrie yo te fè a tout peyi yo, ke yo te detwi yo nèt. Konsa, èske ou va chape?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands; how they have utterly destroyed them. And shalt thou be delivered?
12 Èske dye a nasyon sa yo ke papa m te detwi yo te delivre yo; Gozan, Charan, Retseph, ak fis a Éden ki te Telassar yo?
Did the gods of the nations which my father destroyed, deliver them? Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden in Telassar?
13 Kote wa Hamath la, wa Arpad la, ak wa nan vil a Sepharvaïm lan, Héna, ak Ivva?’”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Henah, and of Ivah?
14 Ézéchias te pran lèt la nan men mesaje a, li te li li. Konsa, li te monte lakay SENYÈ a, e li te ouvri li devan SENYÈ a.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then he went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Ézéchias te priye a SENYÈ a e te di:
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, saying,
16 “O SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, ki chita sou twòn li anwo cheriben yo, Ou se Bondye a, Ou menm sèl, sou tout wayòm latè yo. Ou te fè syèl la ak latè a.
O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest between the cherubs, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Panche zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ pou tande. Ouvri zye Ou, O SENYÈ pou Ou wè. Koute byen tout pawòl ke Sanchérib te voye pou repwoche Bondye vivan an.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 Anverite O SENYÈ, wa Assyrie yo te detwi tout peyi yo ak tout tè pa yo.
In truth, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations, and their lands,
19 Epi li te jete dye pa yo nan dife, paske se pa t dye yo te ye, men zèv ki te fèt pa men a lòm, ak bwa ak wòch. Konsa yo te detwi yo.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
20 Koulye a, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, delivre nou soti nan men l pou tout wayòm latè yo ka konnen ke Ou menm sèl SENYÈ a, se Bondye.”
But do thou, O Jehovah, our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou alone art Jehovah.
21 Ésaïe, fis a Amots la te voye kote Ézéchias e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ‘Akoz nou te priye a Mwen menm sou Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a,
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to me on account of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,
22 men pawòl ke SENYÈ a fin pale kont li: Fi vyèj a Sion an desann ou nèt! Li pa bay ou valè. Fi a Jérusalem nan souke tèt li devan w!
This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him. The virgin, the daughter of Zion, despiseth thee; she laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head after thee.
23 Se kilès ou te meprize e blasfeme? Kont kilès ou te leve vwa ou, e kont kilès ou te leve zye ou ak ògèy la? Kont Sila Ki Sen an Israël la!
Whom hast thou reproached, and reviled, And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, And lifted up thine eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Ak sèvitè ou yo, ou te meprize SENYÈ a! Ou te di: ‘Ak tout cha mwen yo, mwen te monte sou wotè a mòn yo, kote pi izole nan Liban yo. Epi mwen va koupe bwa sèd li yo ak tout bwa pichpen pi bèl yo. Mwen va monte kote tèt mòn pi wo li a, nan forè pi bèl li yo.
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and said: “With the multitude of my chariots have I ascended the heights of the mountains, the extremities of Lebanon; I have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice cypress-trees; I have come to its utmost height, to its garden forest.
25 Mwen te fouye pwi yo, mwen te bwè dlo yo e ak pla pye mwen, mwen fè tout rivyè an Égypte yo vin sèch.’”
I have digged and drunk water, And with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 “Èske ou pa t tande? Lontan sa, Mwen te fè li; depi nan tan ansyen yo, Mwen te planifye sa. Koulye a Mwen fin fè l rive, pou ou ta fè gwo vil fòtifye yo vin tounen gwo pil mazi.
Hast thou not heard, that of old I ordained it, And from ancient times purposed it? Now have I brought it to pass, That thou shouldst convert fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Akoz sa, moun ki te rete ladann yo te manke fòs. Yo te plen konfizyon ak wont. Yo te tankou zèb chan, tankou zèb vèt, tankou zèb sou twati kay ki fennen avan li fin grandi.
Therefore were their inhabitants of little strength; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field, and the green herb; As grass upon the house-top, and as corn blasted, before it is grown up.
28 Men Mwen konnen lè ou chita ak lè ou sòti, lè ou antre ak lè ou fè laraj kont Mwen.
I know thy sitting down, thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy rage against me.
29 Akoz laraj ou fè kont Mwen, e akoz ògèy ou rive monte nan zòrèy Mwen; pou sa, Mwen va mete yon gwo kwòk nan nen ou ak brid Mwen nan lèv ou, e Mwen va vire fè ou tounen pa chemen ke ou te antre a.”
Because thy rage against me, and thy insolence, is come up into my ears, I will put my ring into thy nose, And my bridle into thy lips, And turn thee back by the way in which thou camest.
30 “Epi sa va sign pou ou: ou va manje ane sa a sa ki grandi pou li, nan dezyèm ane sa ki vin parèt menm jan an. Nan twazyèm ane a, plante, rekòlte, plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi yo.
And this shall be the sign to thee; Eat this year that which groweth of itself, And in the second year that which groweth of itself, And in the third year ye shall sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Retay lakay Juda ki chape a va ankò pran rasin anba pou donnen fwi anlè.
And the remnant of the house of Judah, that have escaped, Shall again strike root downward, And bear fruit upward.
32 Paske soti nan Jérusalem, va vin parèt yon retay e sòti nan Mòn Sion, kèk moun ki chape. Zèl kouraj SENYÈ a va akonpli sa a.”
For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And they that have escaped from mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 “Pou sa” pale SENYÈ a, pale konsènan wa Assyrie a konsa: “Li p ap rive nan vil sa a, ni tire yon flèch la. Li p ap parèt devan l ak boukliye, ni monte yon ran syèj kont li.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the king of Assyria; He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow into it; He shall not present a shield before it, Nor cast up a mound against it.
34 Pa menm chemen ke li te vini an, pa li menm li va retounen e li p ap rive sou vil sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
By the way in which he came, by the same shall he return, And into this city shall he not come, saith Jehovah.
35 ‘Paske Mwen va defann vil sa a pou sove li pou pwòp koz pa M, e pou koz sèvitè Mwen an, David.’”
For I will defend this city, and deliver it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 Epi zanj SENYÈ a te sòti deyò e te frape san-katre-ven-senk-mil lòm nan kan Asiryen yo. Lè moun te leve bonè granmmaten, gade byen, yo tout te mouri.
Then an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses.
37 Konsa, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a te sòti, te retounen lakay li e te rete Ninive.
Then Sennacherib, king of Assyria, decamped, and went away, and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 Li te vin rive pandan li t ap adore lakay Nisroc, dye pa li a, ke Adrammélec ak Scharetser, fis li yo, te touye li ak nepe e yo te chape antre nan peyi Ararat. Konsa, Ésar-Haddon, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nisroch, his god, he was slain with the sword by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his stead.
